The most underserved
workforce in
regional NSW.

Allied health is critically underserved in regional and remote NSW. Communities lacking GPs are also lacking physios, OTs, psychologists, and podiatrists — often for years.

Health Plus International places selected allied health professionals — the ones we can source, verify, and place compliantly. We grow this capability as our network grows.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions NSW Health facilities and healthcare workers ask most.

AHPRA-regulated allied health professions include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology, podiatry, paramedicine, dental, chiropractic, Chinese medicine, medical radiation practice, optometry, osteopathy, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practice. Dietitians are not AHPRA registered — they are accredited through Dietitians Australia (APD).

No. Dietitians in Australia are not AHPRA registered. They are accredited through Dietitians Australia as Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs). Health Plus International places APD-credentialled dietitians and verifies current APD accreditation before placement in regional NSW.

Health Plus International conducts live AHPRA registration verification for all regulated allied health professions, APD accreditation verification for dietitians, NSW Health Credentialling Framework checks, National Police Clearance verification, and qualification checks before any placement.

Allied health shortages are most acute in Far West NSW LHD, Western NSW LHD, Murrumbidgee LHD, and Hunter New England LHD — particularly for physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and psychology in communities more than 300km from Sydney.
